1937 Buick Special

Made in Flint Michigan. Going by the serial # it looks like it possibly was built shortly after the great sit down strike of '37.
It has what look like early 50's "Atlas" brand tires and battery. Somehow, the tires still hold air!
No-go on the battery though.. Long gone.. LOL!
Since the pics, I have done some work on the body.. No more rust, it's in black primer now.
The 248 straight eight engine turns over fine by hand, someone drained the gas from the tank, and oiled all cylinders. I will mess with that later when I have more ambition.
Thought I would have a tough go with parts, but not so.. Everything I need from tune up parts to trim can be had online. Never owned a car this old, but I am starting to like this one..!
